8. Is the classification used on the business register consistent with the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC)? If so, at what level of ISIC are the classifications consistent (2-digit, 3-digit, etc)?

Some overcoverage: Some units (between 10% and 19%) not belonging to the target population were included in the frame

Slight overcoverage: Few units (between 2% and 9%) not belonging to the target population were included in the frame

Nearly no overcoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target populationNo hay sobrecobertura pues la información se actualiza en convenio firmado anualmente con cada entidad

Nearly no overcoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target population

Nearly no overcoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target population

Considerable overcoverage: Many units (between 20% and 50%) not belonging to the target population were included in the frame

Slight overcoverage: Few units (between 2% and 9%) not belonging to the target population were included in the frameEl problema se da en todos los sectores

Nearly no overcoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target population

16. How do you rate the problem of undercoverage in the frame for industrial statistics?

Idem

Nearly no undercoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target populationCasi no hay sub-cobertura en la totalidad del registro de empresas, una vez que solamente tiene unidades formales.

Some undercoverage: Some units (between 10% and 19%) belonging to the target population were not included in the frame

Some undercoverage: Some units (between 10% and 19%) belonging to the target population were not included in the frame

Nearly no undercoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target populationSólo por excepción las entidades no entregan la información afectando la cobertura

Nearly no undercoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target population

Nearly no undercoverage: There is only a small difference (less than 2%) between the frame and the target population

Considerable undercoverage: Many units (between 20% and 50%) belonging to the target population were not included in the frame

Slight undercoverage: Few units (between 2% and 9%) belonging to the target population were not included in the frameEs menor en la industria que en los demas sectores

Some undercoverage: Some units (between 10% and 19%) belonging to the target population were not included in the frame

17. Are there any statistical studies that have measured over or under coverage?

19. Do you ensure that the frame is as close to the target population as possible by assessing the coverage via ….? Check all that apply

- Analyzing survey returns for duplicates, deaths, out-of-scope units and changes in characteristics- Using specific questions on the questionnaire to aid in monitoring coverage- Verifying with local authorities (e.g. regional offices, field survey staff, the survey units themselves)- Verifying subsets of the frame in the field (which could include verifying out-of-scope units)- Updating the frame to determine the changes which occur during a certain time period- Checking the consistency of counts with other sources- Using evaluative information obtained from other surveys with the same frame- Contact with people in charge of the administrative data when coverage changes are outside your control

- Matching the frame with comparable alternative sources for the target population- Analyzing survey returns for duplicates, deaths, out-of-scope units and changes in characteristics- Verifying with local authorities (e.g. regional offices, field survey staff, the survey units themselves)- Verifying subsets of the frame in the field (which could include verifying out-of-scope units)- Comparing the frame with sample units from a corresponding area frame- Updating the frame to determine the changes which occur during a certain time period- Using evaluative information obtained from other surveys with the same frame

20. What is the percentage (%) of new units (“births”) in year ‘N’ that are added to the business register before the end of year N+1?

N.A.

21. What is the rate (percentage %) of multiple registrations of the same unit in a given year?

27. Is the business register linked to other register sources (e.g. link from tax records to statistical business register with a common reference number) to allow for quick updating of unit information as well as the use of administrative data in lieu of survey records?
